Jordan III REIMAGINED “White Cement” -March 11th 2023

10 years ago it was easy to tell the difference. Today, Nikes’ contracted factories workmanship is worst than what the replica factories put out. It’s not being wrong or misinformed, it’s these subtle differences that are telling signs.

I’m aware. Where did I say anything about fakes then vs now? I simple said I do not have the energy to educate and enjoy ignorance of simple bad Nike craftsmanship automatically being fake.

Our company has been working for many years, owns its own factory, and once worked for Nike, so we have the technology. Later, our labor cost went up, and after the contract expired, Nike went to other countries to seek lower labor force for production. From rep workers

I’ve always been a bigger fan of White Cement IIIs overall, but I would never do a one to one trade either. Unless you don’t mind losing out more in the long run.

Imma get like 3 pairs for retail. Nothing crazy.
Oh yeah?! Imma quadruple up at retail! ...maybe one with a disco code! :lol:

I don’t like doing doubles of anything, but I’ve beat the **** out of the 2 pairs of White Cements I’ve owned over the years. Might need to do it on these since I missed out on the 2013s and Free Throw lines. Lol.


Definitely going to double up on the Ls I’m going to take on these.

Since when does any statement said in NT have to a specific attack on a commment? *Simply put, I was adding it was easier to tell the difference from fakes a while an ago, not necessarily saying you mentioned it. People call out fakes most of the time because of workmanship but that still doesn’t mean a lot of pairs are not fake. All these pairs out could be test runs on a job bid for all we know. Unless you personally walked out of the Memphis warehouse with your early pair, you have no idea where it came from.

Nvr said it was an attack. You also can’t assume people don’t know just because you don’t.
 
If you intend to wear the 3’s but not the 1’s, it might be worth it but otherwise I wouldn’t.
For sure I plan on wearing the 3s.

For context, I was able to get 2 pairs of the L&Fs, and my 2015 Chi1s are still great; hence why I had the idea of giving one of the 2022s up as trade bait.

Appreciate all the insight. Will gauge the scene more when March gets closer.

Never had the WC3s in my lifetime, so I consider them as one of the last true "Grails" (even though I kind of hate using that term).

Had a real chance to be included in a really small raffle pool at the FTL3s back in 2018 but due to circumstances I couldn't enter my name (still regret not even able to try for them).

Since I was able to double up on the L&Fs, and the added bonus that my 2015 Chicago 1s are still in pristine condition, I figured using my extra L&F 1s as trade bait would be possible in a 1:1 trade. I guess I'll see how things go as March gets closer and release mechanics are announced here in the Philippines.

But if you understand that Nike has bad QC then you should know better than to suspect a pair is fake because of QC variances
 
The comment on how fakes and authentic are being made in the same factories or the comment that they’re all made in China so it’s the same is so lame and tiring
They tell us fakes and authentics come from the same place but then can’t explain how or why they would need to release new and improved batches of fakes over time

And that’s why they say fake people wear fakes, it’s all dishonesty and deception. They fake from head to toe
